Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1.
Before connecting the unit to the mains supply, make sure that the thermostat control dial is set at position 0.
2.
Turn the thermostat control dial clockwise to set it to the desired position, bear in mind that the MID position
is the correct temperature for storing already frozen food.
3.
To ensure that the freezer is cool enough to sufficiently freeze your food, wait 24 hours before filling with
food.
4.
The unit may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a particularly cold room, or
if you open the door often.
5.
If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept cold
enough and wish to check the temperature, you will need
a special fridge/freezer thermometer. These are available
from most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place the
thermometer in the freezer and leave overnight. The correct
temperature for the freezer should be -18°C or lower.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of your appliance is controlled by a thermostat.
MAX position makes the appliance colder and is used for fast freezing. The
recommended position is between MID but should be adjusted according
to its environment. The appliance may not operate correctly if it is in a
particularly hot or cold room or if the lid is opened often or for prolonged
periods.
Fast Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. Setting MAX makes your freezer operate continually and get
colder (approximately -28°C). It will therefore freeze quicker and retain more of the goodness in food. Freezing will
be complete after 24 hours. Turn the thermostat control dial back to position MID, to allow the freezer to return to
its normal temperature (-18°C). Never freeze large quantities of fresh food at one time.
Noises Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be
aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more
pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your
unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
The Alarm indicator will light up if the unit's internal temperature rises approximately
above -9°C.
